Bay 12 Games Forum

I have a few.  This first is from an old thread here, a comic featuring noob tips.  this was my contribution:


This was a silly picture of an egraving of my mayor surrounded my dwarves:


And finally, a skeletal yak tearing on of my people in half within five minutes of embarking:


I'm nowhere near as talented as weird, but I like how my yak turned out.

I constantly have dwarves falling out of trees.  I had a mother and son do this in less than five real time minutes upon migrating to my fort.  Trees are going to be awesome Fun/annoying, I can see.

I view people who can't get by without DT the same way I view fat people whining about having to walk to the bus. Yeah, walking is hard, it's not that hard. That being said I have a really laid back attitude when it comes to assigning labours. 'Does the fort need anything right now? No? Well then, you people get to go do whatever until further notice.' If you're more ocd about that kind of thing I suppose I understand your pain.

LOL I don't whine about the walk.  I do wine about standing there if my knee injury acts up and the bus is 15 minutes late and I've been standing there a half an hour.  But anyway, I admit I got spoiled by Therapist.  It's great when you have umptiscretch migrants with no needed skill and you have a huge amount of smoothing and engraving to do.

Worldgen, what are you doing?  Worldgen, stahp!

Seriously, I wanted to stop at Year 100, but it was all "Um, nope!" and ignored my attempts to make it stop, already.  I tried several times. so now I'm patiently (or not) waiting for it to gen a full 250 years.  Good thing I didn't set it for 1500   BTW, this is 40.02 we're talking about.

Anyone else see this?

if you end up having a really long load, and it's not stopping, then it's because it's not registering keypresses while its "Lagging" between each year.
Hold the abort button until it stops, you might have to hold it for a good few seconds depending on how slow its going.

Also, don't gen a world bigger then small
Thats a really bad idea in 40.02.

LOL now I know that even 250 is too big.  I'll try your suggestion in the future.  Thanks

Nope, works fine for me. What are your worldgen settings?

Nothing other than the default it comes with.

Is it going super slow?

No, normal speed.  It was just annoying, is all.

I can deal, but it's a bit of a bore.  I'm also not a fan of ascii, but I can tolerate it.  So I'm just basically futzing about with the game but not being too serious about it until those things are up and going.  I fail at that stuff forever, so I'm unfortunately waiting for 40.02 version since I can't do it myself.

Maybe you can use the slab to summon a demon?

Speaking of crappy fanfiction...

"No, Urist, you are the demons."

And then Urist was a demon.

Dear Urist McBundy family,

You, sir, detest romance, and your wife has no care for family.  I've just named you Al and Peggy Bundy, respectively,  You  kids, most which seem to think lying and other unscrupulous things are okay (one kid was pretty okay, the rest are little sociopaths in training) seem to share you traits (a couple hate romance and the others don't care about family).  While it's pretty cool that the kids (all SIX of them) have acquired traits from you both, I have to wonder how given your tendencies you even managed to have that many to begin with.  Too bad you don't absolutely detest shoes: that would have been the icing on the cake.

Your amused overseer,

Nyx
